Maciej Gorywoda @makingthematrix.github.io · 23/03/2026roadmap.sh/scala Scala Roadmap for learning is now officially published. It contains over 150 nodes with descriptions and links to learning materials. It's aimed at beginners but I'm sure many advanced developers can find there something for them as well. Please repost 😊 #learn #scala 052
Maciej Gorywoda @makingthematrix.github.io · 20/08/2025If you're at #ScalaDays, come to the room 4C at 15:20 for a talk about how AI tools offered by #JetBrains can help you code 😊 041
Maciej Gorywoda @makingthematrix.github.io · 13/06/2025Berlin-Warsaw, Day 6 Photo 1. A memorial in Łowicz, to Napoleon who rested there after he beat the crap out of Germans. 2. Łowicz beads. They became a progressive symbol in the recent Polish elections (yes, really). 3. The Baba Yaga St in the middle of a forest. 4. Home ❤️🇵🇱🏡 020

Maciej Gorywoda @makingthematrix.github.io · 30/05/2025I spent the last 3 days in Kraków, teaching "Functional Programming in Scala" on AGH University. Lecturing is hard. My brain doesn't work today 😅 But I'm also very happy. I've met a group of smart, ambitious students who were really interested in the subject. btw, this is Kraków appreciation post 040
Maciej Gorywoda @makingthematrix.github.io · 05/05/2025"Hi, today we will be talking about named tuples" 🤣 The video comes out tomorrow. Stay tuned. #IntelliJScalaPlugin #justlookatcamera 020
Maciej Gorywoda @makingthematrix.github.io · 19/04/2025@hntdove.bsky.social Just wanted to share this. I'm visiting my family home for Easter and I've found those books. They are Polish translations of the Videssos series. I bought them in 1995. I was 13 years old. Thank you, sir, for creating a part of my childhood. And happy Easter. 020
Maciej Gorywoda @makingthematrix.github.io · 19/04/2025In the near future, I'm going to teach Scala at a few Polish universities, including my alma mater. Sometimes it's going to be guest lectures, sometimes longer courses. And my next big hobby project is to explain LLMs in simple terms on YouTube. But first I need to dust off my knowledge about it. 010
Maciej Gorywoda @makingthematrix.github.io · 29/03/2025First of all, I'd like to thank my teammates from @scala.intellijidea.com with whom I attended @scalar-conf.com, and those who made our trip possible. Together we managed to get through lots of preparations, main hall talks, hallway talks, pre-, mid-, and after-conf talks... /1 1122
Maciej Gorywoda @makingthematrix.github.io · 16/03/2025This year my oak decided not to lose its leaves and be a fabulous redhead all winter. I'm not entirely sure how it's going to deal with the fact it needs new green leaves, now that it's spring. Anyone knows a tree therapist? 110
Maciej Gorywoda @makingthematrix.github.io · 08/03/2025I noticed this lazy bumble-ass because the flower shook. She didn't even flew on it, just climbed up and down from one flower to another. In other news, I have free water from a well. And I'm starting to like gardening which means I'm seriously getting old. 100
Maciej Gorywoda @makingthematrix.github.io · 23/12/2024A short video about one small trick in #IntelliJIDEA you can use to navigate complex #Scala projects (and other projects too 😎). This is an excerpt from the first video in the series about IntelliJ Scala Plugin features. You can watch the whole thing here: youtu.be/cj3HFctzYm8 020
Maciej Gorywoda @makingthematrix.github.io · 23/12/2024Really well done. Great attention to detail. Despite that the main character wears a classic D&D outfit, everything else is clearly based on Anglo-Saxon clothes, weaponry, jewelry, etc. Also a good, solid story, a bit on the history drama side. #WaroftheRohirrim 010
Maciej Gorywoda @makingthematrix.github.io · 16/12/2024Last week, I was at University of Wrocław, delivering a series of guest lectures on FP in Scala, and how IntelliJ Scala Plugin helps us write Scala. Coincidentally, Friday marked the first day of the ICPC programming championship, CERC 2024, also hosted at UWr, in which JetBrains participated! 😀 060

Maciej Gorywoda @makingthematrix.github.io · 28/11/2024Video recording tip: By sliding the current script line under the camera, and looking at it slightly from below, you can get the effect of looking at the camera while you read the script. That's less time spent on editing. Now if I only find a way to see myself in the video without dying inside... 110
Maciej Gorywoda @makingthematrix.github.io · 25/11/2024I've just finished the first day of teaching "Functional Programming in Scala" at Czech Technical University in Prague. 3.5h of talking, 2h more tomorrow. I heard there's a Christmas market in the old town. My throat hurts. Hot wine too the rescue. 030
Maciej Gorywoda @makingthematrix.github.io · 24/11/20242015-2017 was also when I ran a few marathons and half-marathons dressed as a Spartan, and when I went on a 2000km bicycle trip from Poland to Greece. My greatest adventure so far, but I'm not dead yet. /6 100
Maciej Gorywoda @makingthematrix.github.io · 24/11/2024Then I turned to Java to have a stable job and build and pay off a small wooden hut in Poland. (If you're interested in the toxicity in video game industry, I can tell you a few things). And then, in 2014, I learned Scala and never looked back. /4 110
